What the log shows
The range of searches demonstrates that choosing a workable topic required trial, revision, and comparison across databases.
Supporting Artifact
The search trail behind the literature review.
The research log records where I searched, what I searched for, which sources were useful, and where the process stalled. It is included as evidence of information literacy and research decision-making.
